Cat Piller - a bit of genius!
See the picture? That’s a Piller, it is a pill plunger that shorts pills down a cat’s throat. It is the coolest thing, as cool to a human as a can opener is to a cat. Poor Carla has to take two pills in the morning and two at night for her respiratory infection. We’ve been fighting with her tooth and claw for almost a week. She is so good at figuring out innovative cat ways to spit them out. This morning she bit her tongue fighting us and it was bleeding. That was enough for David and me.
First try, ack, plunge, remove – the pill went in the cat, no fuss, no stress. Carla didn’t even leave her Daddy’s lap afterwards. If you have to medicate you pet, this is such a small investment to save a ton of hassle!
The kids have been blogging up a storm! Check out Behind Orange Eyes for Kaline’s first impressions of her new sister and the column at that site, written by Baggle, Behind Green Eyes, for his point of view.
Glad We Make Our Own!
In the news, Kellogg’s, makers of Eggo Waffles has an Eggo shortage right now! Between a shut down of their Atlanta plant due to flooding earlier this year and some major repairs being done on equipment at their largest bakery in Rossville, TN, there will be a scarcity of Eggos for a while. They don’t expect to return to pre-shut down levels in stores until mid-2010.
I’m so glad I married into a waffle iron and David married into my flour canister! Together we make beautiful waffles at home! I admit, on waffle days, David makes breakfast, but he couldn’t do it without the flour in my canister set!

Good to know I'm not the only one who has problems getting pills down a pet's throat. My Tootsie won't take pills either, so I crush them on a spoon (after first checking with the Vet) and then add a few drops of water - then down the hatch!! I will have to look into the "piller" in case we run into pills that cannot be crushed. Good to know!!
I'm wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving day. So glad you can spend it with your Grandma. This year, I do not have to work on that day. Moo will be cooking us a feast, so it will be a nice day here.
Hugs to the kitties from Tootsie, hugs, Edna B.
two comments..... do you think they make one of those pill things that could work on a 5 year old?
thus far, we've been able to get the eggos we need... but how do i explain to a 5 year old (who eats eggo's nearly every morning) that i can't buy anymore? I think I better stock up!
